The Metropolitan Museum of Art, located in New York City, United States, stands as one of the largest museums in the world. Established in 1872, the museum's collection encompasses a wide array of art from various regions, including Asia, the Ancient Near East, Egypt, Greece and Rome, the Middle Ages, Islamic art, European paintings, and modern art. This article examines 11 previously untranscribed artefacts from the Islamic period, housed within the collection of the Metropolitan Museum. These artefacts, dating between the 8th and 14th centuries, originate from different regions and consist of two embellished stone architectural elements, two wooden panels, one token or glass weight, and six pages of the Qur'an inscribed in Kufic script. The objective of this study is to provide a transcription of these artefacts, elucidate their general characteristics, and analyse the intricacies of their motifs and ornamentation. While many pieces in the museum's section have been thoroughly documented in the list of museum artefacts, the transcriptions and detailed examinations of the examined artefacts have been largely overlooked. In fact, the museum's inventory lacks comprehensive information and readings of these artefacts. Conducting a detailed analysis of these artefacts will serve as a guiding resource for those conducting research in this field. This article employs a qualitative research method, relying on descriptive analysis and observation based on a selected sample.

Turning to the issue of monetary issues of Catherine II (1762-1796) and Paul I (1796-1801), we continue the study of Russian coins from the collections of the NMHM. In the NMHM collection, coins from the time of Catherine II are found both as part of the hoards (Gârbova hoard), and in as single finds: gold ones – lobanchik (1), ruble (1); silver ones – ruble (10), polupoltinnik, 15 kopecks (4), grivennik (4); bronze ones – 1 para / 3 dengas (10), 2 para / 3 kopecks (28); and copper ones – 5 kopecks (98), 2 kopecks (12), 1 kopeck, denga, polushka. Also in the NMHM collections there are coins of Paul I, both as part of the hoards (Grozești hoard), and as single finds: silver coins – ruble (4) and copper ones – 2 kopecks (15), 1 kopeck (10), 1 denga (5). These finds confirm that Russian coins were widely used in the Prut-Dniester area even before the Establishment for the Management of the Bessarabian Oblast of February 29, 1828, when Bessarabia was included in the political and economic system of the Russian Empire and Russian money officially became a means of circulation throughout the territory Bessarabia. This fact allows us to make sure once again that the distribution of Russian money was determined not only by economic and financial relations established after the annexation of Bessarabia to the Russian Empire in 1812. Their use in the 18th century was due to the absence of a national monetary system, as well as the Russian-Austrian-Turkish wars, the consequences of which had a clear impact on the economic sphere and on changing the paradigm of monetary circulation in the Principality of Moldavia. These coins must be put into scientific use, as they complete the picture of money circulation in this area.

The article is dedicated to the scientist Ovidiu Bădina, who contributed to various fields of science, including museology. The author focused on the museum studies of O. Bădina, noting that he contributed to the development of Romanian museology, initiated and led sociological research in the field of museums, studied the museum as a social phenomenon, coordinated scientific meetings in Chișinău and Bucharest discussing to the place and role of museums in modern society. He published one of his most important studies in 1966 in the “Revista muzeeler” journal (Bucharest). We are talking about the article “Dimitrie Gusti and the Romanian Village Museum”. O. Bădina researched the creation stages of the Village Museum, presented the concept of D. Gusti, who perceived this museum as sociological, not ethnographic. O. Bădina believed that the Romanian Village Museum is unique in its kind, it allows one to see the qualitative changes that the Romanian village has undergone. According to the scientist, this museum is a valuable monument that carries deep meanings; it is and will be one of the most important museums. In 1991-1999 O. Bădina worked in Chișinău, where he founded an institute of applied social research, the National Institute of Sociology of the Republic of Moldova. As director of this institution, he organized and managed numerous sociological studies in various fields. Among these studies, the author singles out the questioning of museum visitors developed in November-December 1998 and carried out in March-June 1999 by a group of museum specialists from Chișinău under the guidance of Professor Ovidiu Bădina. It was a topical study needed to define a strategy for the continuous development of museum institutions. The study of the museum audience was carried out for the first time after 110 years of the existence of the Bessarabian museums and the relationship between the museum and community. In Chișinău, he was also involved in the development of museum holdings, financially providing for the purchase and transmission of old books of the first half of the 19th century to museum collections. Ovidiu Bădina will remain in the history of the museum studies of the Republic of Moldova as one of the initiators of social-psychological studies of visitors, investigations of the relationship between the museum and community, and the publication of the results of these studies became confirmation of his professional interest in the museums of our country.

The modernisation of Romanian museums depends to a large extent on the modernisation of Romanian education. How do Romanian museums relate to the ideas of interpretation and participation? Museum education is the beginning of a journey, it is not just a delivery of information, it is the triggering of a process of questioning, experimentation and selfconstruction. Museum education needs to contain emotional elements and be tailored to the needs of visitors, especially the disadvantaged (from rural or low-income communities). Reflections on museum education in the School of Architecture Museum: guided tours for school children participating in the „De-a arhitectura” exhibition, a project for the education of young people from disadvantaged backgrounds around Sibiu, funded by CNFIS and the summer school in Dealu Frumos for architecture students.

In recent years, the connection between creativity, culture, innovation, and economic growth has become an essential focus of cultural policies in Romania and the European Union. The expectations and preferences of cultural consumers have evolved over the last 30 years, leading museums to adapt their strategies. It has become necessary for museums to diversify and expand their offers by emphasizing collective experiences, integrating participatory elements, highlighting educational roles, and preserving cultural identities. The „Dimitrie Gusti” National Village Museum has adopted this vision to become an influential educational entity promoting well-being. As part of this effort, the museum implemented the ROM(a)NOR Interferences project, supported by the EEA Grants 2014-2021 under the RO-Culture Program. This project aimed to promote and revitalize the cultural heritage of the Roma ethnic group through museology and social inclusion, with the goal of improving the situation of the Roma population. Among the project’s initiatives were seven training and initiation courses in creative industries and entrepreneurship, in which 140 Roma individuals participated. These courses included training in artisan skills such as metalworking, floristry, woodworking, weaving, jewelry making, and entrepreneurship.
